Discussion
Hemostatic agents mostly have acidic properties
(pH=0.7-3) and hydrophilic characteristics that may
affect each stage of the bonding procedure. They cause
some changes in dentin surfaces that could affect the
hybrid layer quality after the use of total- and self- etching
adhesive systems. [11] Thus, penetration of adhesives
into dentin surface is prevented and ultimately
affects SBS. [3]
